Gordon McKay – Guide

Born and raised in the prairies of Manitoba in a town of less then 700 in population I’ve always had the urge to get out and explore the world!

After graduating my sense for adventure took me into the wind energy field working with wind turbines all over North America. Before long I wanted to experience even more of the world and did a solo backpacking trip to Asia and Australia where I received my dive masters.

Instead of going home to Manitoba I opted to come to British Columbia and enroll in the Adventure Tourism program in Kamloops, where I learned a lot about guiding and leadership. After completing this course I spent the summer in Tofino, on Vancouver Island, as a sea kayak guide which was a life changing experience.

My sense for adventure has only grown, and I love being a guide for Discover Sun Peaks Adventures, sharing the experience of this amazing area. My favorite part of guiding is hearing stories from guests and really getting to know everyone!
